URCLY now \\)Q lowly cottage, 

Has no need of other grace 
(3)0 charm the joyous orjnstmas morning, 

G'han her pretty smiling face; 
ohrislmas py must surely linger 

Where her footsteps lightly go, 
bloving hearts that know her, surely, 

Opristmas ioy ana gladness l^now. 




IKQ a merry sunbeam, straying 

Prom the sr?y at breab of day, 
oboosmg, with a wayward spirit, 

Wn the pleasant eartb to stay, 
ypo, tbis little maiden wanders 

lyound about witb sweet intent, 
tomes to-day a happy sunbeam, 

obnstmas sunbeam, — Heaven sent.

ING all the world a welcome 

Prom her little loving heart; 
In her snare of obnstmas bounty 

Wishing all could bave a part. 
Unci throughout tbe bills and valleys 

Where the sunbeams brightly gleam, 
riot one sweeter, fairer, brighter 

(if ban this little " Gbristmas-beam.
